Chong Wei, on a high after winning the Japan Open on Sunday, will be attempting to make it back-to-back titles which is something he has never achieved in his career.

It will be a hectic day in the men's singles where the shuttlers who advance will have to play their second round matches later in the day.

As for men's doubles starting tomorrow, Zakry Latif-Fairuzizuan and Tan Bin Shen-Ong Soon Hock will be under tremendous pressure as another poor performance from either pair means they will be in cold storage.

Zakry-Fairuz have a tricky first round match against Japan's Tadashi Ohtsuka-Keita Masuda but Bin Shen-Soon Hock should not have a problem against qualifiers in their opening match.
